Read by Bronson Pinchot.
Charles C. Mann delivers an incisive portrait of the two little-known twentieth-century scientists, Norman Borlaug and William Vogt, whose diametrically opposed views shaped the ideas about the environment, laying the groundwork for how people in the twenty-first century will choose to live in tomorrow's world.
